Array Geometries and Analysis

Phased arrays consist of antenna or microphone elements arranged
into regular patterns. Common array types include uniform linear arrays,
uniform rectangular arrays, and uniform circular arrays. You can also
build arrays with arbitrary geometries by using conformal arrays.
For many examples of the kinds of arrays that the toolbox supports,
see Phased Array Gallery. The toolbox includes System objects for building
arrays composed of subarrays as well as partitioned arrays. You can
model array perturbations and mutual coupling between elements and
create heterogeneous arrays with different element types. You can
incorporate Phased Array System Toolbox™ or Antenna Toolbox™ antenna
elements in your arrays. Methods let you plot array directivity and
other radiation patterns. You can also create and use steering vectors
for dynamic array pointing.
